Very fast rendering with multiple GPUs almost 10 times faster than with CPU on my system

I think it is good to learn the PBR basic and copy less from other programs as that will make things more clear to understand , PBR is simple to follow, and it is easy to create monster shader that make no true sense at the end of the path, applying rules from old shader system will never works , as the new path is simple and have own rules that should be no broken. And it is less mysterious as you may think.

Physically based shading is not completed yet in Poser12 , regular users will not even notice the difference to tell you the truth the Poser12 webinar and it's new features is tomorrow at 15:00 EST, don't miss it ! we may know more about

I sign up too. Will be interesting . I do also some research on the shaders and compare them to Blender PBR. Yes, it is not complete now, but you see already the right direction.

As Miss B stated.. its me Cath (Catharina) I am not so much active in this forum here for the last 6 years, but I now you will see me more often as I have a very good reason for that.

Who's Cath?

Definitely Richard , I did not give up on Poser after 22 years yet ! and it seems like my wishes come true at last partially as other users I am allergic to Math .. but I am very good in PBR (ask Nvidia) lol I just got Poser12 after playing with the trial version , so testing stuff out at this moment and everything look very promising My forum notifications still not working so sorry for the late reply

Nice to see Cath perusing and spreading her knowledge to Poser folks! YAY

I got first notification today from the Gallery , something moved ! I wonder if forum notifications works as well , hit me back with a reply @MarkCM

@ghostship2 that is nice to hear ! we don't want people to get confused and go in the wrong direction , and trust me many will .. the default should help them a lot , it is just so hard to flip people's minds after they being used to something else for so long .

You can see directly from your preview that Poser 12 is more accurate representation of roughness on the Metallic material (Conductor) , for non metallic surfaces the specular need to be set to half unless you have proper values , accompanied with desired values of roughness . It is not much about the glossy this time, but actually the roughness , all true metals have the glossy value of 100% compared to non metals with the default value of 50% at max , not mixing here the glossy with roughness , in PBR glossy values are mostly hard coded for metal and non metal materials, all what changes is only roughness when using bidirectional scattering distribution function workflow For Poser12 to render a proper PBR materials it needs proper BSDF nodes and this one is very crucial in this process

Today is day number 9 , and still no answer from anybody , not here not admin the internal notifications working , but the most I am looking for are from the forum itself , why not adding it to the internal notifications if there is problem , would be easy also no newsletter or anything .. that is a killer for a community

Thanks @SamTherapy the last notification I got was in 2015 , 5 years ago .. they still working on you say ? ok lol

Any news? my notifications still not working .. it is hard for me to use the forum, need to bookmark everything thanks

Thank you

I stopped receiving notifications since July 2020, but I was thinking due to my old e-mail , not the case , I could not reset my password, or change my own e-mail since the link was never sent to the new e-mail, manual changes by the admin did not worked , please check my account , if my old e-mail did not worked before , my account could be be set off to prevent bounce from the mail server . It is only one explanation

yes since 1999 , I have new e-mail and communicate with renderosity admin so it is not blacklisted I have full control over my e-mail server, it must be on your side 100%

Yes the administrator changed it for me 2 days ago personally , but still no notifications
